This could have been my Daily Shoot for today, but chose something less obvious for that assignment:

The color of the day is orange. Make a photograph that is full of orange today.

Couldn’t resist choosing this as my 365 picture, though. In my family, we have enjoyed some Halloween traditions since our year in the US (1996-1997). Making our own jack-o-lantern is an annual fun activity. And so it was today, too!

Actually, Halloween has only been celebrated in Finland for the last 10 odd years, Many people still find it an alien, pagan festival that should have no place in our country. I think it’s good to have some light-hearted fun and colour in the darkest, and most miserable, time of the year.
